Hi everyone, does anyone know how long does it take the IV fee to unlock after DS261 review on the phone? Thank in advance for answering.

I did DS 261on Thursday, called Monday to have it reviewed and they unlocked the IV fee this morning (Wednesday) and I just paid it. Now waiting for IV application to open so I can complete.

For those of you pivot cases who are finally getting case numbers assigned... what are your receive dates at NVC? Trying to understand where they are at on the pivots because we are Feb 2nd and in our 8th week at this point. No number still. Getting desperate!!! Calling NVC daily, they are never helpful for any additional information

Now waiting for Islamabad Embassy to schedule an interview! For all those with pivot cases, it does take a long time to get the case number but the process goes pretty fast after that so hang in there! We got a cc in 21 days even with a checklist!

Is the police certificate required for Pakistan?

Hi. I am seeing people say that I can submit the packages before filling out the IV application... but the cover letter says to send in a signed i-864..?/affidavit of Support. Isn’t that the IV application?

 Iv application is done online 💻 The i864 signed and mail it with all supporting evidence. 📬

HEY GUYS!! So some of you may remember my case..I was venting here a lot...lol So my case was sent to the Pivot department on March 12, 2018 and it said NVC received on March 12, 2018 instead of Feb 9, 2018 (when they originally received it) but anywayyyyy...after fighting, crying, arguing, countless emails to asknvc, emailing my congressman, and everythingggg...

I GOT MY CASE NUMBER AND INVOICE NUMBER in an email today!! according to my case number, my case was the first to be created yesterday but I called yesterday and this morning and even talked to a supervisor and they had told me it will take 8 weeks!!! 

HANG IN THERE EVERYONE!! it WILL happen!! God is great!!! I was able to pay IV and AOS bill and they say "processing" now

So your case will be in the electronic processing? If so, that's a good news indeed!

Is it necessary to call NVC and request them to send the case to supervisor or will they send it even if I don't request them to? People who have their case #s, did all of you call and requested your case to be sent to the supervisor?

We are in the same boat. So I got a case # and invoice # like 10 days ago. I went online and filled out the DS-261. Next day I called and had them review it. Then I paid the AOS fee last Friday and it is cleared and is showing 'PAID' now. So my next step should be paying the IV fee and then fill out the DS-261 as well as send the IV docs. My case is a pivot case, which means I will be emailing my documents instead of mailing them. 

From what I was told, the IV fee opens up within  week after reviewing the DS-261. So hopefully I can pay this fee by the end of this week or early next week. 

 

Good luck

Are you a pivot case? I'm asking this because you've mentioned that you filled out the DS-261. I have heard that people in pivot are not required to fill the DS-261.
